But anyway moving on from that thought I had, tuesday was my first day as a UBC student!! I began my day bright and early and got to school at around 7:45 as Imagine Day (a huge orientation for first-year students where you get placed in MUG groups with a leader who is an older student) began at 8am. The weather was so depressing. The sky was just completely gray and it was raining. I think that if it was actually sunny then my mood would have been much better. So we were supposed to meet at the field at the Thunderbird Stadium however since it was raining we had to meet at our designated buildings and rooms. My building was so far from my friends', but I managed to find my way (surprisingly). So my group met up at the Hugh Dempster Pavilion building at 8am and yay I found my way and initially I basically just looked at my group and thought to myself like great how the fuck do I make friends. So in the beginning I was like this super awkward anti-social-looking girl and whatever and we met the Dean of Science and he gave us a speech about how if we have doubts of our place here at UBC that we should remind ourselves that we all belong here and ugh tbh I feel like that speech made me doubt my place here even more. But yeah then we walked outside to a huge grassy field (by now the rain had stopped but the field was gross and muddy and wet and mushy) and I got brown stains on my NEW WHITE CONVERSE SHOES *tear* even though I was trying to walk as cautiously as possible. Oh ya I didn't take an ootd pic or anything but basically I wore a black H&M and jeggings, my vintage black chunky cardigan, white converse, and my denim American Apparel backpack. I would've worn all black but they wanted us to wear blue for spirit bc the science department is blue and all the other faculties have different colours and then we all would meet at the pep rally later on but yeah. I decided that jeggings would do. And then we wasted some time and then we began walking to a building to meet a prof. While we were walking, it started raining again and I met a girl in my group named Chrystal. We talked the rest of the time during Imagine Day so yay I made a friend. So then we met a prof whose name I forgot but he talked to us about what it's like to be a prof and whatnot and then another MUG leader in our squad talked to us about what it's like to be a student. Then we went on a tiring campus tour of the buildings that we would most likely have classes in and also buildings like the libraries and student union building and yeah. Then we got lunch which was a soggy gross Subway sub that looked like it had been premade like years ago or something. Then we attended the pep rally which was pretty surreal for me bc it gave me that feeling that was like 'wow I go to UBC now' and I'll post some short vids I took later. After the pep rally me and Chrystal took some quick selfies:
Okay yeah there was a green light so we look like the Hulk but ANYWAY the pep rally was actually pretty cool except for the fact that other people stole our designated seats on the bleachers so we had to join a bunch of the science people who had to stand on the ground. But yeah. We got UBC towels too hahaha.
After that it was the 'Main Event' which was basically a bunch of tents set up along Main Mall and even though I wanted to stay for it, I couldn't because my friend and I had work but first we had to buy some more books so yeah.
So I had work afterwards from 6:15-11:45pm and I was absolutely exhausted from all the walking I did that day and let's just not speak about work anymore right now.
Then on wednesday it was my first day of classes! I was nervous that I wouldn't find friends and I was right hahaha ok in the words of Drake, "no new friends". I'm kidding but yeah classes on mon wed fri are only 50 min long with 10 min to go to your next class so it felt like a collab day for every class which is great. The sad part is that tues thurs classes are 1 hour and 20 min so yeah. But I had eng 112 at 10am and I got there late (oops) but my prof was really nice and didn't mind. It was pretty boring, all we did was go over some sheets she gave us regarding the course and the books that we'll need. Then I had phys 100 at Hebb (they should change the 'b's to 'l's bc that's what it is bc I HATE PHYSICS) but I found a guy I kind of knew from high school so we sat together at a really high shitty seat. Then this stoner looking guy with long blonde hair sat next to us and invited us to join the ski and snowboard club and I declined hahah but anyway, my prof is actually really funny so tbh I don't think physics will be as bad as I thought after all. Then I had a 1 hour break and I met up with my friends and we all had biol 121 together at 1pm. I hate the room I'm in for bio bc all the seats are so close together and uncomfortable. Ugh. And then afterwards I met up with my sister and her friend and we had some Japanese food together and then we bought a few of my textbooks.
And then on thursday my first class was at 2pm and it was really nice to sleep in. I had chem 121 and I came right on time so nearly all the seats were taken so I sat in the back. Chem was okay, but the fact that the class is so long is horrible. But my worst class was at 3:30, which was math 184. First of all, I hate math. And then my prof sucks. Actually idek if I can call her a prof. She's just a grad student and she has a heavy accent (I'm not sure from where but her last name ends with -kova so Russian??? idk) but I didn't understand anything she was talking about nor did the people around me. There was this guy sitting next to me and he kept audibly whispering things like "what the fuck". Hahaha it was pretty bad though. I don't know how I'm gonna survive this semester like this. Oh yeah this is what I wore that day:
Yesterday was just my mon wed fri classes again. This time my eng 112 class was in the Henry Angus building (the business building) and it's so nice in there like what the fuck. I'm jealous. But on fridays my eng class will always be here and the interior of the building is actually really nice. Then I had phys but this time I found more people from my high school and we all sat together. Then I had my break at 12 and I met up with the same people and then bio and whatever. This is what I wore yesterday (yeah sorry I couldn't get a better pic):
I'm still in summer mode and I don't know what to do!! I just don't feel like doing any pre-reading or any course work or anything. I really need to motivate myself to get off my ass and start working hard in school bc EDUCATION ISN'T FREE ANYMORE lol this is just so depressing. So far I don't like uni. I don't like all this independence and whatever. I prefer high school. The only good thing about uni is all the cute guys walking around eVERYWHERE.
Anyway I'm gonna stop typing now bc I gotta get ready for work. Bye!
